Israeli unions launch general strike as opposition to judicial reforms grows
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to overhaul the judiciary was facing mounting opposition on Monday, prompting the country's largest trade union group to launch a general strike.
Netanyahu has called emergency talks with coalition leaders and local media is reporting the leader is expected to halt the reform.
The strike by the Histadrut umbrella group, which represents more than 700,000 workers in health, transit and banking, among many other fields, could paralyze large parts of Israel's economy, which is already on shaky ground, ratcheting up the pressure on Netanyahu to suspend the overhaul.
“Where are we leading our beloved Israel? To the abyss,” Arnon Bar-David, the union group head, said in a rousing speech to applause. “Today we are stopping everyone's descent toward the abyss.” The group had sat out the monthslong protests but the defence minister's firing appeared to provide the impetus for the drastic measure.
